“I’m a free born man…”
He was often heard to say,
“…Of the USA.”
Name: Mary Jane
Type: bitter
Venue: The Britannia, Oxford
Review/notes: Very hoppy and citric ale to go with a fish and chips lunch at the turnaround point of a run.
A hasher from Tucson, Fredophile, passed away yesterday. Lumbering and obnoxious it was always a joy to see him on his rare visits during my tenure with the jHavelina’s and Mr Happy’s. If his funeral cortege takes a direct route without veering off into a stand of jumping cholla or a strip club or into a bar you can be sure his soul has already left the corpse. On-on, buddy…regards to BusJob and Prof (late of the Bicester Hash).
Thoughts with Jilldo and co, as well as the jHavelinas and Huachucans for whom this is a sad loss. Apologies to all for forcing the Pogues into Haiku structure for this entry, but a great song for a wake.

Explaining hashing
To newbies is like telling
A joke to a dog.
Name: Becks
Type: lager
Venue: The Messenger, Swindon
Review/notes: Becks was 3 for £10 and while counting out change a couple of dudes bought the other 2 of the 3 and wanted to talk to the stranger. Inside the place was packed with football watching mofos; outside we had a quiet chat about running whilst hammered.

On the run I found some hash markings and fixed them up for the sake of Hashlam, then came across this graffito:
The newest addition to the G-Had arsenal (remember, we put the arse in arsenal) is the whisk broom. Handy when trail is found but you don’t have any flour or the area is too crowded to risk adding decorations to the trail…no one complains when you appear to be tidying up and most will just think you mad and give a wide berth. Fresh blobs can be made into X’s (most kennels use these to mark a trail false), straight lines (Bicester HHH‘s version) or, as in the photo, a T. The penis shaped end is good for dislodging solidified blobs prelaid in the mists of time. And, the retro design is fantastic (found this next to a skip on the Oxford University campus). On-on.
We named a visitor “Gentleman’s Relish” at Mr. Happy’s Hash in Tucson after he used the term in a fantastic story from his early days with the Royal Ulster Constabulary. The definition I know is here, so you can imagine how surprising it was to find it tinned on the shelf at Sainsbury’s. Yuck.
